VORK OF THE LEGISLATURE.

A reorganization of tho work of tho State
Legislature is printed on tho third page of this
paper 1t is carefully prepared and on the
whole is highly crcdiable to both Republican
Assemblymcn and Senators. Some bad bills
have been let through, but not nearly so
many as tho DemOcmtio papers and their
Tn-Republican supporters have claimed, and
falsely mentioned. too. AS a matter Of fact
tho Democratic Representatives from this city
are responsible for n majority of the objcc-
tionablc measures passed. Take the Park
Parade bill, for instance. Not single Sen
ator from this city-they are all Democrats
raised his voice against it, Yet they all
pose as friends of the laborng classes, for
whom tho Park is especially intended.
Next to the temperance part Of the record,
the most pleasing feature OF it is the reduction
effected in taxation. This amounts to over
100000, despite the fact that the appro-
priaions include the cxtla sum Of $57s 900
for the canals and large total for the prisons.

was said at the time that she imagined she
would be acquitted. OF the justice of the YER
dict rendered yesterday, abhorrent as it is to
the sentiments of the community, there can be
no two opinions. This woman shot her husband
down in the street without immediate provoca-
ton, firing not once, but twice. Her act was
certainly murder, and it was clearly premedi-
tated. There may be extenuating circumstances
connected with the case, however, which will
justify the exercise of Executive clemency to
prevent the infection of the extreme penalty
of the law, but if they are not exceptionally
strong there is no reason why this criminal
should not suffer like any other.

The frequency with which cases of milk
poisoning occur in Harlem is startling, and the
worst OF it is that the Health Department does
not seem to be able to do anything to stop it.
The officers have made numberless investiga-
tons, but that is about all the good they do.
What is wanted is some careful system of de-
livery by which poisoning or aduteration can
be prevented or easily traced to the neigh
bors, the grocer, the milkman, or the COW.

The Aldermen backed and filled yesterday
in regard to the electric light bids, but at last
referred the whole matter once more TO the
committee on lamps and gas. They seemed to
think this was the best way out of their predic-
ament as a baffled Combine" WbetherIt was
or not remains to be seen, The delay is un-
fortunate, but if the committee reports prop
erly and promptly, the ring may feel obliged
to act finally in harmony with the city's best
interests and allow fair competition. If they
try any trickery again, public opinion Will
come down upon them even more severely
than it did ten days ago. The combine is
still under observation. -

The competitive drill at Washington this
week has passed OFF successfully, being married
by only one slightly unpleasant incident. That
was the refusal of two companies of South
erners to take part in parade with certain
colored troops. 1t was not stated that these
fastidious Southerners think negroes do not
make good soldiers. Memories of Fort Wag-
ner will always prevent men of the South from
entertaining such an erroneous belief. The
objections were social" the captains SAID.
How social matters can get mixed up with
militia parade is not clear; but if the South
erners did not wish TO fall in line, it was their
privilege not TO do so. No harm has come
thereby to the colored troops. They marched
well and We're highly commended SO long as
they are credit to their race, they need not
mind how much white men discredit their own
common sense.
